    Estibot valuation is wildly off on this one at $1.5K

    A waste of $19K in my opinion. Antigua.com would be very valuable travel portal.

    Estibot is high.

    Its just over my estimation at $18k but could easily make the money back as a travel portal with traffic potential

    As the full name of this country is Antigua and Barbuda, the first choice will be always AntiguaAndBarbuda.com, beside the term under their own CCTLD ( AntiguaAndBarbuda.ag ) There“s nothing wrong, moreover, this is certainly a very rare opportunity to catch a 100% dotcom geo domain at a good price level.

    I’m surprised P Gordon allowed one of his great geodotcom domains to expire.

    What a joke price.

    It’s not the common usage for most surfers, thus greatly reducing the value.
    Plus the “and” really kills it.
    AntiguaBarbuda would be slightly better. Antigua, the best.

    I doubt tourists to Antigua (the country) even know about Barbuda

    Just b/c it’s the official term does not make valuable or more valuable than the common usage term.
    I know which one is worth & would sell for more: Bosnia.com or BosniaHerzegovena.com

    Anyway, no doubt this domain will be won by a domainer and will never be developed or desired by an end user for anywhere near the final winning bid.

    It looks like this name never left the gate. Ownership apparently didn’t change.
